"When Lonely Hearts Meet" is set in a small town in Texas (Dorado). Linda Carroll-Bradd gives such wonderful detail to the old town and Clover's great-great aunt's farmhouse that I longed to be there myself, witnessing everything with my own senses.

Clover and her daughter, Hayley, come into town after Aunt Ginny passes away to pack up the house where she lived her whole life. Clover meets Wade, a sexy cowboy with a black Stetson hat and all, in the painting aisle of the local hardware store, and Wade becomes determined to get to know Clover.

This is a really sweet, short romance about two lonely individuals making a connection as strangers and falling in love. Anyone who loves cowboys and romance will enjoy this story.

"Up on the Roof and Other Stories" is a great collection of short stories ranging from about 8-12 pages long each. You can enjoy one at a time or several at once. Most of these stories are great examples of real life that many people will be able to identify with, and quite a few are infused with wonderful bits of humor. There are stories for everyone's tastes here. Since there are a lot, I'll highlight a handful.

"Up on the Roof" was definitely my favorite out of the bunch, and is fittingly the title of this collection. Brian's Pop climbs onto the roof to talk to God in this cute, humorous story. The dialogue is brilliantly funny and the characters are believable. I enjoyed it very much!

The Amulet- Greta drags her uptight boyfriend to a flea market where she is on a hunt for an amulet. Judy Ann Davis' writing is vivid, allowing me to picture the flea market, hear and even smell it. I definitely have felt the urge to buy something that was too expensive but spoke to my soul. And I think other's can relate, too.

The Wedding- Katherine's step-father is getting married and he has invited her, her bother, and her mother (his ex-wife)! I couldn't have read this story at a more perfect time. My brother is getting married in a few days and countless people who despise each other are forced to be there...together. The ending of "The Wedding" is great!

Computer Junkie- Rita's and Jane's husbands are computer junkies in this silly and yet believable account of what happens when a hobby gets out of control.

Rocking the Boat- This is a cute story about two couples who go on a fishing trip when the girls set out to prove that women can have similar interests to men. I couldn't help but laugh at the craziness that ensues. If you enjoy fishing, this is a fun one.

Flight of the Frenzied Housewife- Marial decides to get a job when she becomes frustrated with being a housewife. Anyone who has had to re-enter the work force, or even look for a new job, will be able to relate to this tale.

Best Friends- This story is about how two people can grow apart when they're pursing a career and different lives. There's also a funny part about a lizard.

Temporary Mom- Willa's step-daughters move in with her and their father for a month to finish the school year, and things get crazy. I enjoyed this lighthearted story, and could resist smiling at the end.

Overall, if you enjoy short and sweet stories, I recommend this collection.

Every article/letter in this eBook offers such great wisdom. There is something for every writer, in every stage of their career, to learn. I am honored to be one of the contributors and to be among such wonderful writers. A huge thanks to Carrie Butler and PK Hrezo for bringing this compilation to life.

Right away, I loved the dark tone Crystal Collier used to tell Alexia’s story in Moonless. Alexia is an intriguing character because she’s not beautiful, and in 1768 she feels no gentleman would want to be matched to her due to her too-thin frame and sunken jowls. Just in the first chapter we are thrust into a mystery revolving around a cloaked stranger with the brightest blue eyes, Alexia’s nightmares, and Weeping House (a mansion said to be haunted). When Alexia wakes in the middle of the night to find she is utterly beautiful and then moments later stumbles onto a murder, we are promised an intriguing story with countless twists and mysteries.

Kiren, the strange man with piercing blue eyes, captivates Alexia with his presence. He also captivated me. I wanted to know more about him. The little bit Crystal Collier shared with us in the beginning was excruciating! I wanted more. But it was worth waiting for. Trust me!

Crystal Collier is a master at creating a haunting tale and memorable characters. I couldn’t read this book fast enough! The romance is breath-taking. The suspense is nail-biting. The mystery is intoxicating. I am thrilled Soulless, book two, will be coming out soon. You can bet I’ll be reading it. I am a big fan of Crystal Collier!

I was hooked from the first sentence! Bianca Butterman’s voice is so fresh, and written exceptionally well by PK Hrezo. I felt like Bianca could’ve been any teenage girl, even me (when I was a teenager). I love her and her goth-edginess.

When boy band popstar, Tristan Helms, comes to Butterman for a “time sensitive situation” when the company is being audited things get interesting, and that’s just the first chapter! Tristan ruined his career when he became addicted to heliox. Now he’s determined to get a lost song he wrote just before he used for the first time, and he wants Bianca to go with him. I didn’t think I could like a popstar character, but PK Hrezo did a great job making him more than a popstar. He’s mysterious, intense, tortured and vulnerable. There is something about him that is alluring.

Butterman (Time) Travel, Inc. is such a clever and unique story. I’ve never read a current NA book about time travel, and PK Hrezo does it flawlessly, making the story line and all the technicalities with time travel easy to understand. And that is no small feat. Everything about this book is creative from remote control kites and holo-Frisbees to time crafts and jetpacks. Bianca and Tristan get into a lot of fun and a lot of trouble. Following their adventure puts you in an adventure, too. There are so many twists, and each one is mind-boggling!

Heads up: There is quite a bit of drugs mentioned in this story, as well as drug use, including marijuana, mushrooms and futuristic drugs. I mention this for readers who don’t like that sort of thing.

With that said, I loved everything about this book. I’m a huge music buff, so all the music and the references to great artists was a real treat. If you love music, time travel, and want to go on an adventure, this is the book for you!

Induction Day is an amazing sequel to Butterman Time Travel, Inc. In this story, Bianca and Tristan face the consequences of their time trip to Manhattan and Woodstock, as well as the Rewrite to the timeline. Reporters and paparazzi swarm around them. Butterman Travel is facing serious allegations, Tristan relapses, and Agent Garth returns. Then Bianca travels back in time to Titanic four hours before it hits the iceberg. PK Hrezo's writing is flawless. She surrounds you with the magnificent beauty of Titanic and puts you right into the danger. I was biting my nails and holding back the urge to cry. This story is a winner!
